I do t think it is Chiarelli as Burke has spoken several times that he has a ton of respect for Peter. I was at a STH event shorty after Chia was hired by the grease and he said something along the lines of they finally have a competent manager up there.
Kevin Lowe i would agree with but he is not the one making trade calls to Treliving.
Teams rumored to be kicking tires on Dougie were the Yotes, Pena, and Oilers. In no way can I see Burke calling old boys Jimmy and Sweet Lou an idiot. The franchise in our division that has a 27 year old analytics GM on the other hand? I could easily see Burke blasting him. He also replaced another old boy and current Flames pro scout Don Maloney so maybe that adds to the bad blood?
